City of Atlanta residents pay among the highest water and sewer bills in the nation, and at times, this can create a financial burden. In an effort to provide assistance to customers facing disconnection due to outstanding balances, the Department of Watershed Management will implement an Amnesty Program during the month of March, allowing both commercial and residential customers the opportunity to enter into payment plans to help settle their accounts without facing penalties.

During the amnesty period, which lasts March 1 - 31, customers with balances exceeding $500 must pay 20 percent of their balance prior to entering into a flexible payment agreement. Also late fees and assessments will be waived during the amnesty period.

Eligible customers may call ATL 311 (404-546-0311) to establish a payment plan. Watershed Management staff also will be available between 9:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. at 2 City Plaza (72 Marietta St.) on the dates listed to assist walk-in customers.
